Mr. A's Review of.....Green Lantern

The Story

Hal Jordan is--

The Review

This film is the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen. This makes Superman Returns look like Wrath of Kahn! First off, the CGI was HORRIBLE. The costumes looked like they were photoshopped onto the actors, Oa looked like it was a reject city from Lord of the Rings, and the Guardians looked liked wrinkled Smurfs.

Now let's talk about the acting. Ryan Reynolds plays Hal Jordan like he's playing Tony Stark mixed with Han Solo. He's more suited to play either Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner.

The plot was so hastily thrown together and the pacing was so damn choppy that NONE of the film makes any sense around the half-way mark.

What bothers me the most about the review is that if it's the biggest piece of crap you've ever seen, why isn't it a 0 instead of a 5? Are you looking forward to seeing even bigger pieces of crap in the future?

What "Otaku" Means To Us

In American culture, the term otaku is used to describe a person with an interest (obsessive, for most cases) in Japanese animation (Anime.) However, in modern Japanese slang the world is used as a broad descriptor, referring to a fan of any particular theme, topic or hobby.

Specific examples include:

Anime otaku - a fan of Japanese animation;

Cosplay otaku - a fan of cosplay (a type of performance art whose participants dress themselves in the style of a particular character or idea);

For purposes of accuracy, we at The Otaku 5-0 Show prefer to use the modern Japanese usage of the word when referring to ourselves. Additionally, we feel that the American usage of the word is similar to the words dork, geek or nerd, and is thus a more offensive word when used in this context.

However, we welcome reasoned debate over this particular issue.

Welcome To The Otaku 5-0 Show!

Aloha everybody!

On behalf of our podcast team, I would like to welcome you to the current home of The Otaku 5-0 Show, which includes our audio podcast and feature articles covering a wide array of geek-related subjects.

We recorded our first audio podcast episode in August of 2008, and we were quite pleased with the progress we've made. However, we have been on an extended hiatus since February of 2013, but we hope to return to production at a later date.

On each episode you will find uncompensated (we're saying it because we want to, not because we're paid to) discussion & commentary for various entertainment-related subjects. Recently, we have started recording audio commentary tracks for our favorite (and not-so-favorite) movies.

We hope that you find this site to be a pleasant, yet professional experience. As such, we welcome any feedback that you have. Feel free to e-mail us at:
